Cosmoserve Space Launches India's First Private Space Debris Removal Facility in Hyderabad
Hyderabad-based startup Cosmoserve Space has inaugurated Base 1, India's first private space debris removal facility and the world's sixth, featuring labs for satellite servicing, robotics, and microgravity simulation. The company recently raised $6 million in seed funding led by Japan's Rebright Partners to support technology demonstrations and commercial operations planned by 2028. Cosmoserve aims to develop systems for capturing and removing inactive satellites, refuelling, and maintaining orbital safety amid growing space debris concerns. Government officials highlighted Hyderabad's growing role in space innovation during the launch.
